Up-conversion of excimer lasers via stimulated anti-Stokes Raman scattering
Abstract
Up-conversion schemes for various excimer laser systems based upon anti-Stokes Raman laser action are proposed. Four atomic systems, Tl, In, I, and Br, are considered as host media for the Raman laser up-converter. Gain calculations indicate that anti-Stokes Raman up-converters should permit a variety of new tunable laser sources in the 150-325 nm spectral region.
